Chapter 9 9. You have done the harvest, it is my turn.

On June 5, 5 days have passed since the last bet. I guess those gambling companies have recovered their losses and harvested a lot of leeks.

Eric shook his red wine glass and sat leisurely in front of the computer. Since the spinach companies had already made a profit, it was his turn to make a profit.

Moreover, Warren and his guys were having a good time outside, spending his money to have fun every day and teasing him from time to time.

"My money!"

The most hateful one is that girl Judy. She sent him a bunch of selfies, all in bikinis. She was surrounded by beautiful women of various Latin styles, and she looked very happy with them hugging her left and right.

"Fuck you, if we weren't so familiar with each other, if you weren't a lesbian, I would have made you hard a long time ago!" Eric took a sip of wine and thought hatefully.

Turn on the computer and issue instructions on MSN.

"Wake up, everyone. Today is the day for betting. It's time to make those casinos bleed."

Warren made an excited expression: "Is it coming? I've been waiting for you for a few days. There are three games today, which one should we bet on?"

"Our goal is the second game, which is the United States against Portugal."

Billy: "Tell me, brother, how much can Portugal win? I'm going to give it my all!"

Billy's mentality also represents the mentality of Americans. They themselves know what the level of football in their country is like, so they have no confidence in their national team at all.

But the result was another upset, the American team actually won.

So there is a famous saying on the court: The ball is round, and everything is possible.

Eric: "No, you are wrong. We should bet on the American team to win."

Judy immediately made a horrified expression: "Wait, even though the school teaches us to be patriotic, patriotism doesn't have to be at odds with money. Even the Bush family is ruthlessly ripping off the country."

"I haven't just been eating, drinking and having fun these days. I've also studied football. Portugal is the favorite to win the championship. They have a lot of big-name stars. They are the golden generation."

"And what are we, the American team? We are all rotten fish and shrimp, and our combined value is not even as good as their thigh. This will be a massacre!"

Bordeaux: "I agree with Judy, this is not football, it's not basketball, America is garbage when it comes to football."

Eric had anticipated their objections and typed away calmly, "I know more about football than you do. Think about the first game. Does anyone think France will lose?"

"Besides, this is my money. I won't joke with my own money. Besides, only by betting on underdogs can I make more money in a short period of time. Listen to me and follow my orders."

Judy: "Well, now that you say so, it's your money, but I won't follow it."

Billy: "I won't follow you either."

Bordeaux: "Then I'll forget it."

Warren: "Why don't you two hedge your bets? I only have $1,000. If it's gone, it's gone. You can just stop following me."

The game officially started at ten o'clock in the evening. According to the strength ranking of both sides, this is still a game with a huge payout ratio.

The odds for Portugal are 1:1.3, while the odds for the United States are 1:11.

This was the first game for the US team. There were no big-name stars. The team was full of unknown players, and core player Reina missed the game due to injury. The whole world was not optimistic about them, and not many people thought they would pull off an upset.

But after this game is over, the odds on the American team will be reduced, so if you want to make money from an upset, the best time is the first game of the group stage.

On the other hand, it is the opposite in Portugal. Figo, Rui Costa, Beto and others are all famous. They all look like they are sure to win, or even win the championship.

Under Eric's direction, nearly $30 million was sent to major gaming companies.

The reason why it is 30 million instead of 190 million is because these companies cannot afford it.

Bookmakers are not fools. In order to prevent major upsets, they set a cap on bets. You can only bet so much at most, and 30 million is already the limit.

All reputable and accessible gambling companies on the market have been suppressed by Eric and his four companions. As for the underground ones, forget it. They are very unreliable and will run away if they can't afford to lose.

As soon as the referee blew the whistle, five people scattered around the world turned their attention to the TV screen at the same time.

As a result, just 4 minutes into the game, the American team gave a resounding blow to all those who underestimated them.

The player wearing the No. 20 jersey headed the ball hard, but Portugal goalkeeper Baia barely managed to block it.

But the ball did not leave the danger zone, and the No. 5 player of the US team happened to come from the side and volleyed the ball with his left foot. The ball went into the net and the score instantly became 1:0. This is also the fastest goal in this World Cup so far.

For a moment, the stadium was at a standstill, the whole world was at a standstill, Judy, Billy and Bordeaux were also stunned, only Eric and Warren were smiling.

Judy: "Shit! I suddenly regret it. Is the American team so strong?"

Billy: "No way. If the American team is really strong, would we still be called a football desert?"

Warren made a mocking expression: "I have advised you long ago that it is absolutely right to follow Eric's lead. Guys, remember to learn from your mistakes."

The following game was pretty much the same as the previous ones. The entire Portuguese team was sleepwalking, as if they hadn't woken up yet. Their offense didn't look like an offense, and their defense didn't look like a defense. They were frequently threatened by the American team.

When the game reached the 30th minute, the two sides were caught in a chaotic fight, and the No. 21 player of the US team made a cross.

Unexpectedly, the ball hit the back of Costa's head during the movement, and then made a strange change of direction and went straight to the goal.

No matter how experienced Baia was, he could not have anticipated such a strange route. The ball went into the net again, and in just half an hour, the score was changed to 2:0.

At this moment, not only Portugal was confused, but even the American No. 21 who shot the ball was confused. He wanted to pass the ball instead of shooting, so how did he score a goal? And it was an own goal.

Then Beto faked a fall and got the Yellow Sapphire Ares Card, which caused dissatisfaction among several people.

Billy: "This referee is too friendly, he should be given a red card!"

Warren: "This behavior is really unsportsmanlike and this guy should be kicked off the court."

Eric thought to himself, you guys know nothing, all you can do is yell there, isn't it the same in basketball where fake falls are common and people fall down at the slightest touch, this referee didn't take any bribes.

The American team continued to attack after scoring another goal. Just seven minutes later, the American team broke into the penalty area again. Costa and Couto were still sleepwalking. The American team scored another goal. Before the end of the first half, they were defeated 3:0.

At this moment, not only the world was shocked, but also the major gaming companies felt a chill in their hearts.

It's a big upset, absolutely a big upset. This game will make them lose all the money they earned in the past few days. There's no telling how many more people will be on the rooftop.

On MSN, the four guys were all very happy, but then what they were worried about happened.

After conceding three goals in a row, Portugal seemed to finally wake up. Two minutes later, Beto scored a goal and made the four players realize that this guy was not only good at diving, but also of course caused them to curse at him.

In the following time, Portugal began to attack frantically, while the US team defended with all their might, which was very tense to watch.

It was not until the 70th minute of the game that Portugal changed the score to 3:2 with an own goal. The whole audience cheered instantly. After all, there was still a lot of time left in the game and there was great hope.

Warren: "FUCK! Damn it, what's wrong with this No. 12? Can he play football?"

Bordeaux: "Damn you Americans, we bring in so many talented players every year, why don't we bring in a few stars?"

Eric: "I think it's not that they don't want to bring them in, but this desert can't attract them. When they are about to retire, they will choose the United States for retirement."

"Well"

As the game continued, the two sides launched a more intense offensive and defensive battle. Warren said his heart couldn't take it, after all, he bet 1,000 US dollars.

Eric stared at the screen calmly, the outcome of the game was already decided.

Sure enough, when the final whistle sounded, the speakers were filled with the four people's intense howling.

3:2, the United States team defeated Portugal in a big upset, and he seemed to hear the sound of gold coins falling.
